Annette Hanshaw — If I had a Talking Picture of You

If I Had A Talking Picture of You I talk to your photograph each day You should hear the lovely things I say But I thought how happy I would be If your photograph could talk to me If I had a talking picture of you I would run it every time I felt blue I would sit there in the gloom Of my lonely little room And applaud each time you whispered I love you, love you I would scream the moment you came in due We would talk the whole thing over , we’d do. I would give ten shows a day And a midnight matinee If I had a talking picture of you If I had a talking picture of you I would write a dreamy singsong for you To make it oh so grand Oh , I’m sure you’d understand Every time I say those three words I love you, love you Just for once I’d realize my ambition We’d be all alone without intermission So the censors won’t object We would kiss with sound effects If I had a picture Of nobody else But you.
